Petrol is a highly inflammable fluid which can be ignited easily and whose vapour forms with air a highly explosive mixture.There are, however, possibilities of giving a certain amount of protection against such fire risks created by damage to petrol tanks.The three main problems which have to be dealt with are:—(i) To exclude an ignition which may be caused by bullets hitting a petrol tank;(ii) To seal leaks caused by bullet holes;(iii) To prevent fire after a crash.These problems are by no means new. A large amount of research and experimental work has been devoted to their solution.
